Can't see Koeman lasting much past Christmas.

precisley - those chumps are simply doing her bidding.

Talk about profit-taking by KL...! Either she's: 1) selling the club, and asset-stripping out the software first, or 2) playing a very high-risk business model of hoping we can stay up on a shoestring, forcing through a new Academy generation every year, and flogging them at inflated prices every pre-season. If it is option 2, then we are perennially going to have no ambition as a football club and primarily be an Academy. In fact you can start to see the sense in this if you are a business-woman and not a fan. The risks though are relegation and/or the Academy having a few generations of relative flops. I guess she thinks the parachute-payments mitigate relegation risk.

If we get raped at Anfield, our humiliation will be complete.

I can see us vying with the likes of WBA, WHU and Villa next season, trying to keep out of the relegation fight at this rate...

School holidays....

You're right. Galling it is that all we have to show for it is tea, sympathy, and fading memories of a once naive team that had blossomed, grew in stature, and played some great football and for the first third of the season walked near the summit.

When we beat Liverpool at Anfield on the opening day, Koeman will be hailed as "..the Dutch Old Master.."

It will all end in tears.

"...Saints Dutch revolution..."

I bet it's a quicker queue than the concourse at St Mary's...

Excellent - that **** arrogant journo met his match -almost like an Alan Partridge interview, you'd swear it was a set up, hilarious.

I suspect that the grammatical and structural crimes in the article were actually a result of this copy being on the website rather than the print paper itself, and set out by some work-experience teen, not the author themselves. If you read the Daily Telegraph website (or any other national daily for that matter) you will find the proof reading and layout to be well below print standards.

Definitely going to develop a Dutch accent now overnight.

Suckers can **** off. Taste of their own medicine. One damp squid of a year for Lallana and co in the CL then back to the Europa scrapheap!

Serves Judas Lallana right - he'll now only get one damp squib of a year in CL football as Liverpool sink back to their natural position of 5th-8th. And watch Lovren back pedal like a maniac...

Yea, my face hurts from laughing so much.

Should be a club announcement then, after 0900?

Big ting a Guan.

There's a long way to go in this window, which on one hand is lucky given our problems but also long enough to lose Lovren and Schneiderlin for certain. Furthermore, the departures can only make us less attractive to quality incoming replacements who will generally hold out for more ambitious clubs and keep us as a fall back position for late in the window if that doesn't work out. This means we are likely get the more mediocre players who are coming here late on, feeling somewhat disappointed and with their egos bruised. Not a great basis for the new season.

That looks like a Milton Keynes secondary school on a sunny day.

Impossible to call presently because we simply haven't got a clue what the team will be. We have already lost our 3 best players. The next tier down may also be on their way if the rumours are to be believed. But realistically, it is not looking good in any objective view presently, even if Koeman is a virtual miracle worker and we get some signings.

The last time the words "total football" were banded about St Mary's, we actually produced total crap.

What a complete caarnt.

That monstrous, elevated, steel basketball court thingy in his back garden told you all you need to know about the fellow's character.
